Our take
The BLACK+DECKER PS1000B is a compact powered chopper whose key distinction is a pair of nestable 3-cup bowls. The manufacturer lists both at the same capacity, along with a stainless-steel chopping blade and high/low controls. This is useful when small ingredients need to be kept in separate bowls during prep, but it is not the more common arrangement of one large work bowl plus a smaller mini bowl. The manufacturer page supports the model and parts described here. The historical row’s Amazon ASIN does not establish a current exact offer or finish, so the link searches for the model. This review is based on product documentation, not personal testing.
A cook who regularly prepares separate small ingredients and values two equal-size bowls more than a large batch bowl or disc attachments..
Skip it if you need a large family-size work bowl, included slicing and shredding discs, or a genuinely smaller second bowl.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The maker lists two separate nestable bowls, each with a 3-cup capacity.
- A stainless-steel blade and high/low controls are documented.
- The two-bowl setup can keep successive small preparations separate.
What to weigh up
- Both bowls are 3 cups, so neither is a larger main bowl for full-size recipes.
- The maker page does not list slicing or shredding discs.
- The historical ASIN and finish are not crosswalked to a current Amazon package.

What the features mean for you
Two bowls, with no size hierarchy
BLACK+DECKER describes two nestable bowls, each holding 3 cups. That changes the comparison with processors that pair a full-size bowl with a smaller insert: the PS1000B offers two containers of the same stated capacity. A cook could use one for herbs or aromatics and keep another clean for a separate ingredient, but the published capacity does not make either bowl a substitute for a 7-, 10-, or 14-cup processor. The attribute profile therefore records a 3-cup bowl and a second work bowl, while the review spells out that the bowls are equal in size. [bowlCapacityCups, smallBowl]
Chopping is the documented center of the package
The maker page lists a stainless-steel chopping blade and high/low settings. Those facts support a small-batch chopping profile, with two speed choices, but do not support a claim about slicing, shredding, kneading, or vegetable dicing. No disc attachment appears in the listed parts. A shopper who regularly slices cucumbers or shreds cheese should look for a model with the necessary discs rather than assume the word processor means those tools are included. Likewise, there is no listed spiralizer or dicing kit. The profile leaves those jobs outside this product’s matching features. [sliceShred, doughBlade, spiralizer, dicingKit]
Dishwashing and nesting are practical package details
BLACK+DECKER identifies removable parts as dishwasher-safe and shows the bowls nesting for storage. These are specific cleanup and storage claims, not performance ratings. Nesting helps consolidate two separate containers, while the equal capacity means the second bowl adds workflow flexibility rather than a different batch size. The product page is the source for those stated design features; it does not provide a test-based conclusion about how finely the blade chops, how loud the motor is, or how long the mechanism lasts. The review avoids turning a parts list into a durability promise. [smallBowl]
A second bowl is not a mini-bowl attachment
The finder’s small-bowl attribute asks whether a separate work bowl is documented. The PS1000B qualifies because the maker lists a second bowl, but the note matters: it is another 3-cup bowl, not a lower-capacity bowl nested inside a larger processor bowl. For a shopper making two small mixtures, that distinction can be valuable. For a shopper wanting a large bowl for dough or vegetables and a small bowl for sauce, this model does not document that range. The distinction keeps the result honest and lets buyers compare bowl count and bowl size separately. [bowlCapacityCups, smallBowl]
Check the exact listing before ordering
The official product page identifies PS1000B, but the saved source evidence does not map the historical Amazon ASIN to a current listing or confirm the title’s color wording. The tagged link is therefore an exact-model search, not a claim that a particular seller or package is available. A listing should be checked for the PS1000B code, both 3-cup bowls, blade, and base. Replacement bowls or similar BLACK+DECKER choppers can appear in search results, and a model name alone does not guarantee that every included part is present. [bowlCapacityCups, smallBowl]
What else to compare
For a larger bowl with a separate mini bowl, compare the KitchenAid KFP720; for a small bowl with feed-through discs, compare the discontinued Cuisinart DFP-3.
